With gun sales on the decline in the U.S. since President Donald Trump took office, WalletHub conducted a study to find out which states were the most dependent on the gun industry.

The District of Columbia topped the list for highest average wages and benefits in the firearms industry at $348,325. That’s more than 10 times higher than New Mexico, which came in last at $34,232.

But, with the gun lobby and advocates on either side of gun issues clustered in the capital, the number for D.C. makes sense. Massachusetts and Connecticut followed in second and third place, respectively.

No state in the DMV was ranked among the top 10 most dependent on the gun industry and Maryland was ranked 46th — the sixth least-dependent on the gun industry.
